Is it all necessary?
By George Starks
As I write this, it is not yet 8 a.m. on Thursday morning. Seldom do I
ever try to do any kind of writing before my third cup of coffee on a
three cup morning limit. My brain just doesn’t function that way
anymore. Wednesday night, after I got home from the Greenville girls
basketball game, I turned the television on to watch the Orange Bowl
game between Clemson and WVA. Thinking this might be a good game; I
grabbed a diet coke and made some popcorn, got to my chair and got
ready to watch a classic. It was a classic alright. Clemson had its
head handed to it on a platter losing 70-33. I watched this...

MATT ACTION: VERSAILLES PINS WAVE |
V-Tigers put damper on Greenville senior night
By George Starks
Sports Editor
GREENVILLE- It’s a head to head county match that has become an annual
event. When Versailles and Greenville hit the wrestling mat, it’s a
huge event. Thursday was no different. With Versailles holding a 34-27
team lead and only two matches left to be contested, Greenville’s bid
at getting a win fell by the wayside in the...

The Next Era of the Postal Service
This holiday season, Ohioans received scores of gifts—from Great Lakes
beer to Cincinnati chili—but many of the parcels probably weren’t
dropped off by their local postal carrier. The United States Postal
Service (USPS)—the second-largest employer in the United States and one
authorized by the U.S. Constitution—is governed by rules that limit its
financial viability. To address a growing deficit, more than 120 post
offices and 10... Read More. More Opinion.

FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS SATURDAY, JANUARY 7,
2012 |
So
how many of you watched all 35 bowl games this year? Is it over yet?
George Starks talks about 11 in 1971. I remember when all games took
place on January 1 on 2 or 3 networks. I’d surf all day. With 35 (plus
or minus) and a half dozen networks over a 1-month span, it’s just too
much trouble. Also in News: Recess appointee Cordray ready to ‘prove’ worth of consumer bureau. Events: Coffee with the Commissioner. Blogs: A Call for Sanity in the Anti-Romney Rhetoric. Obituaries: Anita Thomas Young For
